Each year, the California Business for Education Excellence (CBEE), which is comprised of California business leaders who have come together in efforts to improve public education and close the achievement gap, recognizes high performing public schools in California through the CBEE Honor Roll School program. This year, CBEE recognized a record number of Honor Roll schools, among them several current and alumni Cotsen schools.
At the Cotsen Foundation for the ART of TEACHING, we know that high performing schools are made possible through the collaborative efforts of teachers and administrators committed to the development of teaching excellence. We salute all the 2013 Honor Roll schools and have listed those who have participated in the ART of TEACHING below:
